Introducing Eco-Eagle! Made from YOUR litter—well, technically, litter found on Piñon Playground! The incredible students of Piñon Elementary in Santa Fe, NM, took action, cleaning up the playground, collecting plastics, and transforming trash into treasure. Using bottles, bottle caps, Capri Sun pouches, cupcake holders, tin foil, Styrofoam, and chip bags, they created an Eco-Eagle—a symbol of sustainability and creativity. The Eco-Eagle holds a bag made of plastic bags found on the playground. When students find recyclable items, they bring them to the Eagle and drop them in the bag! Even non-recyclable plastics are welcome—we’ll use them to make more art. This project was led by Piñon’s 21st Century Afterschool students and has been submitted to the international CAVU Climate Innovation Challenge, where kids around the world are developing their own solutions to climate change. Wish us luck! GO EAGLES! ¡VAMOS ÁGUILAS! ¡SOMOS UNIDOS!

Pinon wants to recognize our Boys Basketball teams and Cheer teams for their hard work and commitment throughout the season.

Mrs. Vigil's entire 3rd grade class and the STEM/Science Fair Club had nine participants in the Pinon School-wide Science Fair. From the school science fair we had several participants and teams make it to the District Science Fair where the students made a good showing winning several Judge's Choice Awards as well as an Honorable Mention.

As a precautionary measure following PNM's notice of a potential power shutdown on Thursday, March 6 (due to high winds), Santa Fe Public Schools will implement the District’s inclement weather procedures and shift to a remote learning and work day. This will allow us to ensure the health and safety of all. Additionally, we must comply with state-required instructional hours and avoid extending the school year beyond the scheduled final day of school. Please ensure that students are prepared for remote learning tomorrow, and stay safe. For more information, see: https://5il.co/39nqg -- Como medida de precaución luego del aviso de PNM sobre un posible corte de energía el jueves 6 de marzo (debido a fuertes vientos), las Escuelas Públicas de Santa Fe implementarán los procedimientos del Distrito para las inclemencias del tiempo y cambiarán a un día de trabajo y aprendizaje remoto. Esto nos permitirá garantizar la salud y la seguridad de todos. Además, debemos cumplir con las horas de instrucción requeridas por el estado y evitar extender el año escolar más allá del último día de clases programado. Asegúrese de que los estudiantes estén preparados para el aprendizaje remoto mañana y manténgase a salvo. Para obtener más información, consulte: https://5il.co/39nqg
